Not many people realize the emotions and how high they run when a team chooses to trade a player who has been a huge part of a franchise for most of a decade.
The Indians had to make a tough decision on Sunday, as the team traded away two-time Cy Young award winning pitcher Corey Kluber to the Texas Rangers for outfielder Delino DeShields and reliever Emmanuel Clase.
While some fans are labeling the move by the Indians as nothing more than a ‘salary dump,’ no matter it does not remove the emotion of losing a pitcher who was also respected in the clubhouse and nearly won the team a World Series in 2016.
